本节的最佳短代码:

<?= date("Y"); ?>

全年使用:

 <?php 
    echo $curr_year = date('Y'); // it will display full year ex. 2017
?>

或者只得到两位年份，就像这样:

 <?php 
    echo $curr_year = date('y'); // it will display short 2 digit year ex. 17
?>

在date函数的第二个参数中可以得到更多的值 Strtotime返回参数传递的时间戳

// This work when you get time as string
echo date('Y', strtotime("now"));

// Get next years
echo date('Y', strtotime("+1 years"));

// 
echo strftime("%Y", strtotime("now"));

使用datetime类

echo (new DateTime)->format('Y');

以我为例，wordpress网站页脚的版权声明需要更新。

想法很简单，但涉及的步骤比预期的要多。

Open footer.php in your theme's folder. Locate copyright text, expected this to be all hard coded but found: <div id="copyright"> <?php the_field('copyright_disclaimer', 'options'); ?> </div> Now we know the year is written somewhere in WordPress admin so locate that to delete the year written text. In WP-Admin, go to Options on the left main admin menu: Then on next page go to the tab Disclaimers: and near the top you will find Copyright year: DELETE the © symbol + year + the empty space following the year, then save your page with Update button at top-right of page. With text version of year now delete, we can go and add our year that updates automatically with PHP. Go back to chunk of code in STEP 2 found in footer.php and update that to this: <div id="copyright"> &copy;<?php echo date("Y"); ?> <?php the_field('copyright_disclaimer', 'options'); ?> </div> Done! Just need to test to ensure changes have taken effect as expected.

这对很多人来说可能不是同样的情况，但是我们在相当多的客户站点中遇到过这种模式，并且认为最好在这里记录。

echo date('Y')给你当前年份，这将自动更新，因为date()给我们当前日期。

我是这么做的:

<?php echo date("d-m-Y") ?>

下面是对它功能的一些解释:

d = day
m = month
Y = year

Y表示四位数(如1990)，Y表示两位数(如90)
